Atheist - If he is sure there there is no specific god because of the impossibility and/or improbability of his existence.

Agnostic - Not sure whether there is a god or not. Usually does not care.

An atheist is the opposite of a theist.

The theist believes there is evidence for the existence of their favorite god.

The atheist does not.

It would be illogical for the atheist to "deny" the existence of something for which there is no evidence. Atheism is merely the lack of a belief.

Knowledge is absolute. Since nobody can know with absolute certainty no gods exist, everyone is agnostic. So the so-called "agnostic" has the same lack of knowledge as the atheist or theist has. It's just commonly accepted that an agnostic does not commit either way.
